2027 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T65.892SToxic effect of other specified substances, intentional self-harm, sequela
T65.892S is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic effect of other specified substances, intentional self-harm, sequela. The 7th character S marks it as a sequela code, which reports a problem that remains after the original condition has resolved. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 922 through 923. The code is exempt from POA reporting. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Mental and substance use disorders; sequela; and Poisoning/toxic effect/adverse effects/underdosing, sequela.
T65.892S no longer risk-adjusts for Medicare Advantage: it mapped to HCC 59 under the retired CMS-HCC V24 model through payment year 2025 but maps to no category in the live V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 58, ESRD (V21) category 58, and ESRD (V24) category 59 for payment year 2027.

T65.892S is exempt from POA reporting on inpatient claims to general acute care hospitals. Review the other POA exempt codes in Toxic effects of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source (T51-T65).
Medicare Risk Adjustment (HCC)Billing
T65.892S no longer risk-adjusts for Medicare Advantage: it maps to no payment category in the live CMS-HCC V28 model, although it still risk-adjusts in the other CMS models shown below.

Coding GuidelinesGuidance
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Toxic effect of other and unspecified substances (T65). Use the following options for the applicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela

Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to T65.892S: its own notes plus those printed at T65, block T51-T65, and Chapter 19. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
- contact with and (suspected) exposure to toxic substances (Z77.-)
Excludes2
Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.
Use Additional Code
Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
- When no intent is indicated code to accidental. Undetermined intent is only for use when there is specific documentation in the record that the intent of the toxic effect cannot be determined.
- Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
- The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.
7th Character
Every code in the category takes a 7th character from the listed values, with the placeholder X filling any empty positions before it.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T65
- Ainitial encounter
- Dsubsequent encounter
- Ssequela this code

Poisoning
A poison is any substance that is harmful to your body. You might swallow it, inhale it, inject it, or absorb it through your skin. Any substance can be poisonous if too much is taken. Poisons can include:

Code History & ChangesHistory
Replaced This code was replaced in the FY 2027 code set by:
- T65.852S - Toxic effect of medetomidine, intentional self-harm, sequela
Questions About T65.892SOverview
Is T65.892S a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report toxic effect of other specified substances, intentional self-harm, sequela on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What does the 7th character S in T65.892S mean?
The final character S makes this a sequela code: it reports a lingering problem that remains after the toxic effect of other specified substances, intentional self-harm itself has resolved, not the original event.
What MS-DRG does T65.892S group to?
When toxic effect of other specified substances, intentional self-harm, sequela is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 923, 922, with relative weights from 0.9980 to 1.6248 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is T65.892S exempt from POA reporting?
Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for toxic effect of other specified substances, intentional self-harm, sequela on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Toxic effects of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source (T51-T65) range of the CMS exempt list.
Can T65.892S be reported with a code from Z77?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block T51-T65, which applies to T65.892S, lists "contact with and (suspected) exposure to toxic substances (Z77.-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
Does T65.892S risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Not for Medicare Advantage. T65.892S mapped to HCC 59 in the retired CMS-HCC V24 model, which last determined payment in 2025, but it maps to no category in the live V28 model; see all codes that no longer risk-adjust. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 58 (Major Depressive/Bipolar/and Paranoid Disorders), ESRD (V21) category 58 (Major Depressive/Bipolar/and Paranoid Disorders), and ESRD (V24) category 59 (Major Depressive/Bipolar/and Paranoid Disorders).
